I'm not sure were you guys get your information from.  I suggest you take a look at www.warhammeralliance.com.  Most of the devs post there and have answers to all your questions.  Use the dev post tracking tool on the page. 

The system requirements are not that high, and there will be no open beta.  However if you applied for beta you are most likely getting in at some point.  If you want to increase your chances at getting in early start a DAOC subscription and sign up for their newsletter.  Otherwise you probably are not getting in until the last phase.

Nice to see you checking out these boards Josh.  Welcome

OP is a troll, and just got pwned

You do realise you don't have to upgrade to KR and you can still use the old graphic engine.?  I don't understand the complaining.  If you don't like it don't upgrade and you will still have your 10 yr old outdated graphics

"m not talkin about which game is better which is clearly conan im just talkin about which game focuses more on pvp.  warhammer is a constant battle going on around you even if your not pvpin.  and you are still contributing to pvp in some way even while doin pve.  whats the sad thing is conan pvp looks better while balancing pvp and pve."

Conan fanboy or what?  How can you clearly judge which game is better when both are not even released yet.

right before EA bought mythic it was running at a 7.6 for a long time.  Then all the aoc fans, wow fans, and other gaming fans spammed there 1's on the game saying EA's the devil...

Anyone get in?

Ths video was released on the newsletter for this month.  If you can sit their and say this is just another WoW clone your insane.

I have never seen a company say you may lose yorur toons. Actually i have seen company's come out and say you will NEVER lose your toons.

just canceled my account today and get this message

"You have successfully canceled your The Lord of the Rings Online™ subscription. We are sad to see you go, but you can come back again in the future, but you may lose your existing characters."

I have not seen a company even attempt to do this in a VERY long time.  Very bad decision on Turbine's part

"By quotes from Devs it will not feature extensive RP"

oh please show me these quotes.  From what i've read its going to be a RP dream.

Oh and btw there will be a ton of PVE content in WAR should do some research first.

please give me what you are smoking.  Your wrong

edit: "

lomiller you have to be kidding me.  Warhammer Online sub base will triple LOTRO.  I expect WAR to give wow a run for it's money.  Between that and AOC, i'd expect them to put a good dent in WOW's population.

edit: every game i play there is a ton of chatter in the general chat about warhammer online. 

It very easy, all they have to do is show the numbers of peeps on each server.  Take a look at DAOC

www.camelotherald.com

A old game but a goody, it's slowly dying yet they are not affraid to show their overall numbers for EACH day.

More game companies should be like Mythic!

"over 1million people to play the open beta."

They invited over 1 million does not mean a million will play, you lucky to get 10% of that number so that would be 100k.  Also they did NOT have only 2 servers for the open beta they had about 4, and then slowly added the rest.  There no way you are getting 10,000 people on one server the game will run like shit, that is why most company's cap it around 3000-3500.  The only company i'm aware of that will show you the exact numbers is mythic, and cudo's to them!

just another reason to play war

no one is being realistic here.  Just use some common sense.  There are only 11 servers for this game, only 2 servers are capped usually. Typically the cap is set around 3000-3500 even if you multiply the cap x 11 your looking at 40,000 playing.  A good number to use for subscription rate is 10x the number usually on.  That would give you 400,000 Subs.  I can tell you right now they dont have anything near 400,000 subs your looking more along the line of 200,000.  And that is a sucessful MMO. 

People keep thinking a MMO needs to have numbers similar to WOW to be a success.  EQ1 only has bout 400k subs, EQ 2 only about 300K also.  All WoW did was inflate the MMO community.  A good mmo will have between 250k-500k, a awesome mmo your looking at 500k to 1mill.

LOTRO will not be a runaway success like wow because it gives the WoW fanboy nothing to stop his subscription and come play lotro.  Granted there are some features that are different but it's to much ALIKE!   ONLY if  you are a true LOTR fan will you be lured away.

 Also keep in mid just because it's a good IP doesn't mean every single LOTR fan will just pick up the box b/c it's a lotr game, there have been a ton of console games that have done horrible in sales.  Warcraft was a very popular PC game it's one the reasons why the MMO sold well, as for Lord of the Rings most of the console games were not very good, dont assume just b/c it's lotr it going to sell like hotcakes

"Sonya's just a cool person"

I'm sure Sayna would appreciate it if you got her name correct.  Speaking of that its Sanya Weather not Wheaters.

sanya was never the community manager for Warhammer.  It has always been Richard.  Yes she posts on the Herald but that about it! Richard has always been the War community manager.

Sanya didn't even work with the WAR team.  She was in charge of DAOC, The Sims Online, and UO.  That is a lot of responsibility and i'm sure it eventually got to her

"Recently in other grab bags and press releases its been stated by her that mythic devs have been moved to UO and Sims online and are now running both of the community websites."

Uh thats becuase all MMO games produced by EA are now run by EA Mythic?
